I'd point out that reliance on any translation is the true problem. The translation itself makes little difference if one is not looking into the original languages. As you point out, translations are biased by the translators, so it is best for students of the Word to go beyond the translation...

That's actually what I said in my post. Correct, the Gospel is dispensational. The New Covenant is dispensational. Eternal Redemption is dispensational. This is true. We can be believers without knowing all kinds of things. Perhaps it might help you to learn more about what Biblical...

Then address the post. I have presented my reasoning, present your disagreement.

Sorry, no. Colossians 1:23-27 King James Version 23 If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister; 24 Who now rejoice...

Actually, we are saved by Dispensational Theology. We call it the Gospel of Jesus Christ, which was foretold in all other dispensations but only revealed in this one. Prior to the coming of the Comforter, soteriology was unclear. They understood there would be a resurrection of the dead, but...

True, lol. But John's got the upper hand: he's the one that will probably be saying "I told you so" more often. I love to hear R.C. teach, too. Both men were great minds, and I think the Lord was able to accomplish quite a bit through them. Ran across a video of MacArthur debating (not really...

Not actually relevant to the discussion at hand. We have to distinguish between the differing ministrations of God throughout Scripture. He also told Israel to destroy the inhabitants of Canaan, not something He would require of Christians under New Covenant doctrine. It gets a little iffy in...

Having the Spirit of Christ is truly necessary to understanding God's Word. In fact, that is exactly what Christ told His disciples before dying on a cross: John 16:7-9 King James Version 7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the...

What comes to mind is a shepherd protecting his flock. In David's day, for example, he sang softly but carried a big stick. In our day, we could hope John OJ scenarios might take place, where the intruder gets a whupping and is taken into custody, but back then, lions and wolves didn't carry...

Not sure how "Not even one" can be twisted. And since this is God's declaration, and reiterated by Paul, I think we can safely say the principle remains true age without end. No man comes to the Lord unless the Lord draw him. No man understands the Gospel except the Holy Ghost ministers the...

The same thing we do for all unbelievers: witness to them. I do not view Islam as a "counterfeit," because it doesn't try to replicate Christianity. It is a cult, as every group that misidentifies Jesus Christ is. But we are called to love those who hate and persecute us, to preach to them...

Without a doubt, the most influential teacher in my life. I saw a meme that had him preaching/teaching to Peter in Heaven, and Peter says, "I never looked at it that way, before."

I do. And I'd venture most on this forum do. What was the Lord speaking about when He said this? Not a translation. But you can show me the translation that removes or distorts His meaning here. Again, irrelevant. This is a matter of interpretation of the individual which, unfortunately...

Hello NC, haven't seen you posting in a while and wanted to see if you're doing well. God bless, brother.

Hi guys, I haven't seen NetChaplain in quite a while, I was wondering if anyone knew anything about why he hasn't been posting?

My answer would be no. There are a few reasons why we have new translations, but one of them isn't Satan actively participating in the spread of the Word of God, no matter how bungled some may view the various translations. Think about it: if you living in a foreign country, and someone was...

I've read through the entire thread, and may have missed it, but thinking sola fide should be among Baptist Distinctives. You can't be Baptist if you believe salvation can be lost. Not really. Immersion and Sola Scriptura. Belief in the Trinity. Belief in the necessity that a person must turn to...
